The "Middle East and Terrorism" Blog was created in order to supply information about the implication of Arab countries and Iran in terrorism all over the world. Most of the articles in the blog are the result of objective scientific research or articles written by senior journalists.

From the Ethics of the Fathers: "He [Rabbi Tarfon] used to say, it is not incumbent upon you to complete the task, but you are not exempt from undertaking it."

The
use of small drones has increased dramatically over the years, making
them a potential threat to critical infrastructures, other aircraft and
homeland security (HLS), due to their small size, low speed and low
flight altitude. These drones may be used for a number of reasons,
including hostile purposes such as intelligence gathering, smuggling, or
as weaponized platforms. In addition, they are difficult to detect or
disrupt due to their low visibility and low Radar Cross Section (RCS).

To detect low signature, low-level and low-speed airborne
targets, ELTA has adapted to this specific mission its 3D radars, for
short (10 km), medium (15 km) and long (20 km) ranges, respectively, as
well as adapting them with EO sensors for visual identification of the
target.

In order to disrupt the hostile UAV, ELTA has developed
adaptive jamming systems which can be used in concert with its detection
and identification sensors, or as a continuously operated stand-alone
system. The jamming disrupts the drone's flight and can either cause it
to return to its point-of-origin (‘Return Home’ function) or to shut
down and make a crash landing.

Nissim Hadas, IAI Executive VP and ELTA President said: "We
have begun demonstrating these capabilities to potential customers, in
response to this new threat. We believe that in the near future every
critical asset and public site will require these safety measures for
protection against hostile drones".
